The Weatherby Mark V Guide Ti 20″ .308 Win is a production rifle that shaves weight without giving up the precision demanded by backcountry hunters and long-range shooters. Per Weatherby specs, the titanium receiver and BSF carbon-fiber barrel bring the overall weight down to roughly 6.5 pounds—verified on my lab scale—while the Peak 44 Blacktooth stock locks the action into a repeatable zero. Chambered in .308 / 7.62 NATO with a 1:10″ twist, this rifle is threaded 5/8×24 for a suppressor or brake, drilled and tapped for optics, and ready to print sub-MOA groups with quality match ammo. If you need a lightweight carry rifle that still holds tight at distance, this is the one.

Key Features
- Titanium receiver: Shaves nearly a pound off the steel receiver weight, so you can carry more ammo or glass without feeling the extra ounces.
- BSF carbon-fiber 20″ barrel: The carbon wrap stiffens the barrel profile, reducing thermal drift and maintaining accuracy string after string—critical when you’re dialing in cold-bore shots.
- Peak 44 Blacktooth stock: This carbon-fiber stock is bedded from the factory to ensure the action sits tight, eliminating stock-to-action shift that kills consistency.
- 5/8×24 threaded muzzle: Screw on a suppressor or a brake without needing a gunsmith—threads are concentric to the bore per Weatherby’s QC.
- Drilled and tapped for optics: No extra machining needed; mount your favorite rail or rings directly and get to zeroing.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who humps gear up a mountain and still expects first-round hits on elk at 400 yards. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight platform that holds zero through a 10-round string without walking. If you’re the guy who measures group size in MOA and pack weight in ounces, the Guide Ti fits your kit.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight with a full-length 20″ barrel—rare in a production .308.
- Pro: Factory-bedded stock means no bedding job required out of the box.
- Con: The titanium receiver can be more sensitive to torque specs on scope rings than steel—use a torque wrench and follow Weatherby’s recommendations to avoid shifting.
